光纤拉曼放大器中增益的偏振相关特性研究

提出了一种改进的、可用于计算偏振相关拉曼增益的光纤拉曼放大器的非线性耦合波方程。建立了单模双折射光纤拉曼增益的数学模型,分析了线偏振抽运光以与光纤快轴成45°激励的单模双折射光纤拉曼放大器模型与实际具有随机双折射的光纤拉曼放大器的拉曼增益偏振相关特性的等价性。基于上述模型,提出了一个可定量表征单模光纤偏振模色散统计特性的拉曼增益偏振相关因子,用以替代常规的光纤拉曼放大器非线性耦合波方程中的偏振相关因子。计算结果与已报道文献的实验数据非常吻合。同时对抽运增益在同向和反向抽运方式下截然不同的增益偏振相关特性给出了合理的解释。

通过考虑脉冲频谱的增益色散，提出了一个分析亚皮秒光脉冲在半导体光放大器(SOA)中传输的新思路.分别对超快光脉冲在时域和频域内进行离散化，建立了一个更为合理的传输数值模型.基于该模型，观察到了脉冲频谱的明显漂移，并探讨了漂移量与脉冲载波波长、脉冲能量、脉冲宽度、SOA长度和注入电流等外部条件之间的关系，从理论上解释了文献没有证实的实验结果.同时，基于交叉增益调制原理，利用双光束结构，描述了载流子加热、光谱烧孔效应和双光子吸收等非线性效应引起的增益压缩.理论分析的结果为改善SOA的动态特性提供了指导. 关键词： 半导体光放大器 超快非线性效应 增益色散性     

Intelligibility enhancement for noisy whispered speech using asymmetric cost function

We proposed two whispered speech enhancement methods based on asymmetric cost functions in this paper to deal with the amplification and attenuation distortions of whispered speech distinctively.The modified Itakura-Saito（MIS）distance function provides more penalties to speech amplification distortion,whereas the Kullback-Leibler（KL）divergence function gives more penalties to speech attenuation distortion.The experimental results show that the MIS function based method achieves significant improvement of intelligibility in contrast to the conventional speech enhancement algorithms when the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR）falls below-6 dB,whereas the KL function based one achieves the similar result as the minimum mean square error（MMSE）speech enhancement method.The results show that the effects of the amplification and attenuation distortions on the intelligibility of the enhanced whisper are different,where larger attenuation distortion may result in better intelligibility of speech with low SNR.However,the attenuation distortion has small effects on intelligibility of speech with high SNR.     

Asymmetric molecular harmonic assisted generation of the attosecond X-ray pulse

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the asymmetric molecular high-order harmonic emission and the attosecond X-ray pulse generation when the asymmetric molecular HeH²⁺ ion is exposed to an intense chirped pulse. It is found that the molecular harmonics are strongly dependent on the internuclear distance R as well as the chirp parameter, showing a smooth and intense harmonic plateau at R = 8.0 a.u. and β = 0.4. Further, by adding a subharmonic controlling pulse with the optimised conditions, a supercontinuum with a bandwidth of 602 eV can be obtained. Finally, by properly superposing the selected harmonics in the supercontinuum region, a series of isolated X-ray pulses with durations of sub-80 as are directly generated.     

Gain-assisted indented plasmonic waveguide for low-threshold nanolaser applications

A subwavelength plasmonic indented waveguide with an active InGaAsP core is proposed.The characteristics of the gap plasmon mode and gain required for lossless propagation are investigated and analyzed by the finite element method.We numerically calculate the normalized mode areas and percentages of energy confined in InGaAsP and metal for plasmonic nanolaser applications.It is shown that the indentation of the sidewalls has an optimal value for which the lasing threshold gain is minimal.The structure could enable low-threshold subwavelength lasing and applications for optoelectronic integrated circuits.     

Study of a bulk-Micromegas with a resistive anode

The design and performance of a Micromegas with a resistive anode are presented in this paper. A thin resistive sheet with volume resistivity of 10¹² Ω·m cm is glued onto the readout electrode surface and its performance is investigated by using a ⁵⁵Fe X-ray radioactive source in the operation gas of argon and isobutene mixtures (Ar/Iso=95/5). The gas gain at different mesh high voltage, counting rate and working time are given. Energy spectra at different working voltages are measured and the results are discussed. We have oberved that a Micromegas with a resistive anode can be operated at higer gain than a standard Micromegas without sparks.     

窄带傅里叶变换光谱仪中平稳高斯噪声的理论分析

在本文所研究的空间调制型傅里叶变换光谱仪中, 在窄的光谱带宽内进行探测可以有效提高光谱的分辨率. 为了研究光源辐射噪声对系统的影响, 本文将辐射噪声归纳为一种高斯窄带的平稳随机过程, 利用线性系统分析方法, 根据统计学原理推导了辐射噪声作为随机变量通过干涉系统前后的输入信噪比与输出信噪比. 然后, 对于一个具有窄带矩形光谱的系统进行了计算仿真, 得出了信噪比增益随着光程差在不同自相关度和互相关度取值时的变化情况. 仿真结果表明, 不同光程差下的信噪比增益在相关度空间是一单调的平滑曲面, 增益极值始终沿着相关度圆的半径和周线移动, 并且经过一个光程差又回到初始的位置. 根据对信噪比增益的分析, 可以将噪声的相关度取值控制在某一范围之内, 并作为系统光源设计与测试的依据.     

5 MeV Proton irradiation effects on 200 GHz silicon–germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors

The total dose effects of 5?MeV proton and Co-60 gamma irradiation in the dose range from 1 to 100?Mrad on advanced 200?GHz Silicon–Germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBTs) are investigated. The SRIM simulation study was conducted to understand the energy loss of 5?MeV proton ions in SiGe HBT structure. Pre- and post-radiation DC figure of merits such as forward- and inverse-mode Gummel characteristics, excess base current, DC current gain and output characteristics were used to quantify the radiation tolerance of the devices. The results show that the proton creates a significant amount of damages in the surface and bulk of the transistor when compared with gamma irradiation. The SiGe HBTs shows robust ionizing radiation tolerance even up to a total dose of 100?Mrad for both radiations.     

Facile Construction of 3D Reduced Graphene Oxide Wrapped Ni3S2 Nanoparticles on Ni Foam for High‐Performance Asymmetric Supercapacitor Electrodes

3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐wrapped Ni₃S₂ nanoparticles on Ni foam with porous structure is successfully synthesized via a facile one‐step solvothermal method. This unique structure and the positive synergistic effect between Ni₃S₂ nanoparticles and graphene can greatly improve the electrochemical performance of the NF@rGO/Ni₃S₂ composite. Detailed electrochemical measurements show that the NF@rGO/Ni₃S₂ composite exhibits excellent supercapacitor performance with a high specific capacitance of 4048 mF cm^?2 (816.8 F g^?1) at a current density of 5 mA cm^?2 (0.98 A g^?1), as well as long cycling ability (93.8% capacitance retention after 6000 cycles at a current density of 25 mA cm^?2). A novel aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor is designed using the NF@rGO/Ni₃S₂ composite as positive electrode and nitrogen‐doped graphene as negative electrode. The assembled device displays an energy density of 32.6 W h kg^?1 at a power density of 399.8 W kg^?1, and maintains 16.7 W h kg^?1 at 8000.2 W kg^?1. This outstanding performance promotes the as‐prepared NF@rGO/Ni₃S₂ composite to be ideal electrode materials for supercapacitors.     

Network dynamics and its relationships to topology and coupling structure in excitable complex networks

All dynamic complex networks have two important aspects, pattern dynamics and network topology. Discovering different types of pattern dynamics and exploring how these dynamics depend or/network topologies are tasks of both great theoretical importance and broad practical significance. In this paper we study the oscillatory behaviors of excitable complex networks （ECNs） and find some interesting dynamic behaviors of ECNs in oscillatory probability, the multiplicity of oscillatory attractors, period distribution, and different types of oscillatory patterns （e.g., periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic）. In these aspects, we further explore strikingly sharp differences among network dynamics induced by different topologies （random or scale-free topologies） and different interaction structures （symmetric or asymmetric couplings）. The mechanisms behind these differences are explained physically.
